Lincoln Heights Wiki:Administrators

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions.

Administrator abilities
These additional functions include:
 * Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
 * Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
 * Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
 * Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

Bureaucrat abilities
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki.

Bureaucrats can also give users the ability to "rollback" edits not made in good faith.

Only Lincoln Heights Staff Members have bureaucrat abilities.

Wiki Staff
Lincoln Heights wiki staff members have full access to the Wiki. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/bureaucrats on this wiki. Please use Contact to contact Lincoln Heights Wiki staff. Lincoln Heights Wiki Staff (LHWS) are very trusted users that usally have been given extra rights to help monitor the wiki.

Who are this wiki's administrators?
The "founder" of a wiki, the person who first requested it, is given administrator access automatically. Founders are also given bureaucrat access so they can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat. For a complete list of users with administrator access, see Special:Listusers/sysop.

Also there is a list of them below.

How do I use administrator powers?
See Help:Administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

Becoming an administrator
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On larger Wikia, there will usually be a community page for requests, with a page name such as "   :Requests for adminship". On a smaller wiki, you may simply ask on the community portal or Forum, or ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.

If there are no active bureaucrats, use the "Requests for adminship" page to nominate users to become admins or bureaucrats. Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and Wikia Staff can provide the rights.

What can administrators not do?
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to use against the wiki or its users.
